Why is the following implementation of the Extended Euclid Algorithm failing?
def extended_euclid(a,b):
if b == 0:
return {a, 1, 0}
d1,x1,y1 = extended_euclid(b, a % b)
d = d1
x = y1
y = x1 - math.floor(a/b) * y1
return {d, x, y}
This is the implementation found in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Mathematics/Extended_Euclidean_algorithm , looks similar to your's one.
def egcd(a, b):
if a == 0:
return (b, 0, 1)
else:
g, x, y = egcd(b % a, a)
return (g, y - (b // a) * x, x)
